Biography

Alfred Sisley was a British-born French Impressionist landscape painter. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape en plein air (outdoors); he deviated into figure painting only rarely and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, he found that Impressionism fulfilled his artistic needs.

Quotes by Alfred Sisley

"Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love."

Alfred Sisley

"As for Sisley, I just can't enjoy his work [visiting the Paris Impressionism-exhibition of art-dealer M. Petit, May 1887], it is commonplace, forced, disordered; Sisley has a good eye, and his work will certainly charm all those whose artistic sense is not very refined."

Alfred Sisley

"I like all those painters who loved and had a strong feeling for nature."

Alfred Sisley
